I lost another TV friend from childhood.
Months ago, we lost "Luis", today we lost "Bob".
As one of the original "Street regulars", Bob's songs and personality made me smile when I watch the show.

Posted in: App developed to automatically delete children's nude selfies See in context
Perhaps removing child porno magazines and innapropriate anime from every convenience store in Japan might be intelligent move first.
They're already gone! They disappeared from the magazinge racks of all of Japan's convenience stores before the 2020 Olympics to give Tokyo a "family-friendly" face!
Plus, removing all the ecchi Anime will only anger Japan's Otaku further!

Posted in: Japan aims to block sex offenders from jobs in schools, child care See in context
The system "could lead to the offender becoming a social outcast," GOOD!!
NOT GOOD!!
A sex offender being made a social outcast (pariah) may go through negative changes of behaviour and could even become aggressive, more dangerous and even resort to far worse acts of violence (i.e.: Robbery, Murder, Terrorism)!
Rehabilitation is far better than ostracism!

Posted in: Tokyo changes age limit for kids going into opposite sex’s bath at hot springs and sento See in context
As the new policy went into effect, some parents at a public bath in Tokyo’s Higashikurume district weren’t happy about the stricter rules, as shown in the video below. A father who came with his three children, two sons and an eight-year-old daughter, was disappointed that the group won’t all be able to go into the bath together, as was the girl herself.
Some parents who are opposed to this can just go to public baths outside Tokyo!

We need to bring back corporal punishment for cases like this to deter other cowards from thinking this is a good way to end their lives.
How will corporal punishment stop these jerks? They probably been beaten, slapped, whipped, etc. when they were youngsters! Violence will only produce more violence!

Parents, in Japan particularly, need to keep a more watchful eye on their children.
"..In Japan particularly"?
This sort of thing is a WORLDWIDE problem! It happens in the U.S. where I live, in the U.K, Canada,
Africa, even in the Vatican!
It even happens where YOU live, too.
So before you start blaming other countries for problems like this, think about YOUR country's problems first!
